NTFS and Veracrypt VS HFS+ Encrypted?

I want to create a backup disk where I occasionally connect it to my macOS and copy important things manually. I may also connect this disk to Windows in rare cases. I also want to encrypt the disk/container. I accept to lose the ability to use this disk on Windows. (which may occur if I choose HFS+ encrypted) What is the most reliable and fast way to achieve this? Using NTFS and Veracrypt? Using HFS+ Encrypted?
